Movie star Shah Rukh Khan, detained at an airport in the US for questioning again, tweeted on Thursday: "Every damn time!"

The 50-year-old actor was detained at the Los Angeles airport this time. A man with the same name is on a US no-fly list of 80,000 people.

He took to Twitter to voice his exasperation.

I fully understand & respect security with the way the world is, but to be detained at US immigration every damn time really really sucks. @iamsrk

The brighter side is while waiting caught some really nice Pokemons. @iamsrk

Mr Khan, one of the most successful stars in the Hindi film industry, has been held back at US airports thrice in seven years.

American officials tell NDTV that during immigration checks, what pops up is a name without any other detail to help draw a distinction.

In April 2012, Mr Khan was held back for over two hours at the airport in New York on a visit to address students at Yale University.

He had joked later at Yale: "Whenever I start feeling too arrogant about myself I take a trip to America."

Mr Khan was a part of a group that included Nita Ambani, wife of industrialist Mukesh Ambani, whose daughter was a student at the university. While Mrs Ambani and the others were cleared immediately, the actor was stopped and allowed to leave only after two hours.

After arriving two hours late at Yale, he said in his address: "We were detained at the airport as always. For one and a half hours. It was nice. It always happens when I come to America."

As New Delhi reacted strongly and asked the Indian Ambassador to take up the incident, the US Customs and Border Protection wrote to India's New York Mission expressing "profound apologies".

Earlier this year, the actor had said in an interview that he hoped this would stop, since his namesake had been removed from the no-fly list.

In 2009 too, the actor was stopped at the Newark airport because his name came up on a computer alert list.

"Genuinelly...I feel that the more love we show to our girls ...the more love we show to our women and the more love and respect we show to our ladies ... believe me, we will have many more achievements which are world class like Sania's," the 50-year-old actor said.

"Have a lot of respect ...geniuelly, I am telling you there are no bigger achiever's than women in this world," the "Dilwale" star said.

"She (Sania) is the 'rani' of racket'," he quipped.

"Sania has done more than anyone else to make our country proud. We would remember people like P T Usha, Mary Kom and Sania Mirza who have led the way for lots of boys and girls to take up sports as a professional career and make our country even prouder," Shah Rukh added.

"I couldn't have thought of a better person to do it (the launch). All I had to do is, just say can you (SRK) please come and unveil this very special thing for me. That's all I had to say and he is here," Sania said.

"By the grace of god, I had a long career...enetertaining career on and off the court. I am glad I am able to present it," she added.

The book captures Sania's journey of becoming World's No.1 player in women's doubles and the difficulties and challenges faced by her in making her dream come true.

From announcing a Design and Development Accelerator facility in
Bengaluru to performing aarti at the famed Shree Siddhivinayak temple
and attending a star-studded dinner at SRK's home, Apple CEO Tim Cook
on Wednesday had a packed schedule as he kicked off his four-day India
visit in a highly "encrypted" manner.

Cook is expected to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday. He
had met Modi at a Silicon Valley event in the US last September, where
they discussed manufacturing plans under Modi's 'Make in India'
initiative.

India is incredibly exciting. The population of India is incredibly
young. Almost half the people in India are below 25. And so I see the
demographics there also being incredibly great for a consumer brand
and for people that really want the best products," Cook had said
earlier this year.

Ace actor and megastar Amitabh Bachchan and other actors also arrived
for the dinner hosted by Shahrukh Khan for Cook.

Earlier today, Cook had a meeting with India's top iOS developers.
"Great to hear from some of India's top iOS developers today.
Innovative apps and many ideas for the future!" he tweeted.

Cook, who landed in India late on Tuesday night, also visited
Siddhivinayak temple here today.

The Apple CEO said the company would establish a Design and
Development Accelerator in Bengaluru, the home of India's startup
scene.

"India is home to one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial iOS
development communities in the world," said Cook.

"With the opening of this new facility in Bengaluru, we're giving
developers access to tools which will help them create innovative apps
for customers around the world," he added.

Cook, who is on power-packed schedule apart from meeting with heads of
leading telcos, is expected to meet Tata Group Chairman Cyrus Mistry
and Tata Consultancy Services CEO N. Chandrasekaran.

While in Mumbai, he could also meet with Maharashtra Chief Minister
Devendra Fadnavis.

Cook is expected to visit Telangana on Thursday, where is slated to
meet Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao and IT Minister K.T. Rama
Rao. Apple has already announced the setting up of its maps
development centre in Hyderabad.

On the last leg of his visit, he is the expected to meet Prime
Minister Narendra Modi in the national capital on Saturday.

Shah Rukh Khan waved and showered flying kisses to fans off the pitch as his team Kolkata Knight Riders, was with son AbRam.

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan waved and showered flying kisses to fans off the pitch as his team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) battled it out against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at the Eden Gardens here on Wednesday.

Nearly halfway through KKR's innings, Khan — clad in a white T-shirt and sporting a beard — was first flashed on the giant screen having a balloon fight with son AbRam.

He later realised the loud Eden cheers were for him and the "Dilwale" star acknowledged the love by standing up and waving.

While YRF's latest offering, Fan, is an out-and-out Shah Rukh Khan film, there are many who worked silently in the background to make Fan look like it did on the big screen. One of them is Ken Metzker, a colourist for the Maneesh Sharma film.

Metzker recently said that Fan was a difficult project because to work on because it is heavy on VFX.

Shah Rukh plays a double role in Fan and his character of Gaurav Channa was made to look younger by digitally reconstructed the actor's face using VFX. Metzker worked in close coordination with cinematographer Manu Anand to ensure a realistic grade (colour) for both the live action and the VFX elements in the images.

"Working with Manu (Anand) was a truly enriching experience... Grading a movie as heavy on VFX as Fan is always a challenge and we worked closely together to ensure that the overall look of the movie was consistent with the director's vision for the film," he said. "We are all extremely thrilled about the final film and I look forward to working with Manu again soon," he added.

Prime Focus began work on Fan in November 2014 when 20-30 shots of the film were tested and the final look of 'Gaurav' was locked in. Over 500 hours were spent grading the VFX plates and fine-tuning the colour of the movie which released last Friday.

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Fan' is not only applauded by the fans but also the film is getting critical acclaim.
